Review by Booklist Review

As a consultant, Garnett specializes in helping her clients discover their genius habit a combination of skills and strengths that lead to success in all areas of life. These strategies are outlined here to help readers discover their own unique genius and put it to work in their daily lives. Garnett draws from both scholarly and pop-psychology sources on a variety of topics including habit building, mindfulness, confidence, and happiness, walking readers through her process for finding areas of impact, developing goals, working through challenging situations, and thinking differently about success. Quizzes and questionnaires will make readers think more deeply about their personal challenges, goals, and habits, and personal anecdotes and inspiring stories from Garnett's clients appear throughout the book. The heart of the approach is her genius tracker (included in the appendix), a weekly self-evaluation tool that identifies strengths and areas for improvement. The Genius Habit is a solid self-help book with a clear, actionable process that will appeal to readers of Jen Sincero and Gretchen Rubin.--Nanette Donohue Copyright 2019 Booklist
